I'm sorry this wasn't clear enough, and I'm afraid I misunderstood certain parts of the prompt while writing this.
We will be focusing on Robin Hood as a folk hero during the Tudor Period and how the plays and events surrounding him relate to Tudor society and rule. This topic was discovered from our exploring our initial research and only explored further once we were sure there would be ample information. We were indeed able to find quite a bit of literature on the subject including several play texts from the specific time period.
In this proposal I attempted to go through the thought process that brought us to our final focus, which I thought was the best way to explain how we came to a consensus. We never really sat down at one moment to discuss which direction to go, but rather in our discussion of our research, we arrived at the topic of Robin Hood via the same avenues outlined above and immediate agreed it was an interesting avenue to explore.
Comedy was only important as it became a reference point (i.e. we know comedy and how it works in society: likewise heroic drama had a similar relationship to society, and it was easier to route our thought through comedy than to build the same relationship from scratch again) as we dove further into a new discrete area.
And we will post a bibliography with the sources we used ASAP. Sorry about that. It just slipped our minds.

Eric,
Thanks for posting this! I am going to copy and paste that into our "MLA" blog post. Thank you for your work. I also don't think we're going to be able to put things in alphabetical order until everyone submits his or her summaries. So, maybe tomorrow we can make a new blog post with the alphabetized, formal version of our bibliography.
